Fulham rejects second Mark Schwarzer bid

Mark Schwarzer's bid to play for Arsenal has taken another hit with Fulham rejecting a second offer from the Gunners for the Socceroos goalkeeper.

English press reported on Thursday the north London club had renewed their interest in the stopper but not upped their initial price of STG2 million ($A3.47 million).

The 37-year-old Schwarzer is desperate to play for Arsenal, the opportunity potentially being his last chance to play in the Champions League.

The Guardian said that powerbrokers at Craven Cottage priced the 37-year-old at around STG5 million ($A8.67 million) and want larger financial compensation as Schwarzer has two years left on his contract.
